the future of jaZz is not determined by DJs, party vibes and exotic groovesaladsbut by unterrified avant-garde musicians who are pushing the borders of jazz musicper se (even if they are DJs).

this group is well suited for people who don’t confuse funk & soul with jazz ...confuse acid jazz & grooves with nu-jazz ... confuse electrojazz and nostalgicremixes with future jazz ... you get the picture? ...and if you don’t, this group might help you in making the distinctions and inbroadening your musical experience with the newest developments in jazz.

the true future jaZz artists might borrow from each and every genre and style,be it afrobeat, flamenco, post-rock or trip-hop. but they won’t neglect their heritagenor let it limit their vision.

it felt great to see that esbjörn svennson is chosen as the cover to the "future of jazz". his musical heritage will hopefully continue to inspire young composers, but we will nevertheless miss him in this world. definitely a direction I would like to see jazz develop more in the future...

good question, i consider math rock as *one* of numerous influences for contemporary developments in jazz, not "the" future of jazz. sure, math rock was influenced by jazz (and also by different scenes of progressive/ avantgarde/ experimental/ punk rock). it should be interesting to analyze how the influence of jazz in one "genre" feeds back into the development of jazz.
